Clean Energy & Sustainability
What is clean energy?
Clean energy provides the same power to homes and businesses as traditional energy sources without generating as many harmful pollutants or greenhouse gasses. This helps to minimize the effects of climate change while still providing the energy needed for our daily lives. Clean energy generated from green options like wind and solar is even better because these sources are abundant and will help us achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions.
New York sustainability
We already power homes and businesses across New York with quality, reliable and safe service, and now we’re committed to transitioning toward cleaner, more sustainable sources of energy. Local sustainability initiatives will help increase the use of clean energy and, in doing so, decrease greenhouse gas emissions.
A fossil free future
One of the best ways to create a more sustainable New York is to reduce our reliance on fossil fuels. To play our part, we have committed to completely eliminating fossil fuels from our gas and electric systems by 2050. Fossil fuels will be replaced with clean sources of energy like renewable natural gas and green hydrogen. We are already working with policymakers, regulators, and our customers to make this transition as seamless as possible. Learn more about our clean energy vision.
